Ask Campaign

The milestone under program A (Freedom of Expression) during SPP1 has been the piloting of Access to Information Legislation through the ASK Campaign . The piloting of the ASK campaign has been carried out in seven countries in the SADC region. Mixed results have been achieved, thus the program area will undergo some refocusing and re-sharpening.

In Zambia, a new dimension to the program emerged where the campaign for adoption of an Access to Information legislation will be closely tied to the campaign to review the Zambian constitution.The chapter will aggressively deal with issues relating to constitutional guarantee of press freedom and free expression. This came about as a result of calls for a new constitution for Zambia where civil society has been calling for the establishment of a constituent assembly to adopt a new constitution.

In Swaziland the issue of constitutionalism is also placed high on the agenda. The campaign to repeal unfriendly laws will also enjoy high priority among chapters. The campaign to have access to information legislation adopted in SADC countries within SPP2 will be carried out. Further information click here
